A 70-year-old woman living in a Vermont retirement home passed her time experimenting with homemade ricin, even testing it on fellow residents, the Justice Department said Friday. The FBI was alerted to a dangerous substance at the home earlier this week, and discovered a bottle labelled “ricin” in her residence. Officials “stressed that any threat posed by the substances in Miller’s apartment has been neutralized,” they said. Wake Robin called the case “an isolated incident.”“The toxic substance was contained; no residents were evacuated,” the retirement home said in a statement. “The resident of the apartment in question is now involved with the criminal justice system and will not be returning to Wake Robin.”
